I drive big trucks for a living and when im bobtailing i have no traction thats 5700lbs per tire on front and less than 1000lbs per tire on rear i run 22.5 low pro tires
I could amagine what big comercial tires would do for traction on a 1 ton truck your traction i would amagine would be horrible

also take it from a driver that in the legal system U can get very screwed if U put commercial tires on your truck and the low traction they cause is found to have caused a wreck or a death then i hope U have big pockets because if u are involved in killing a family or such its big fines and lots of jail time

i deal with these legal ishues all the time and they are real so take heed


not tryin to spoil any ones fun i think those tires and rims are awsome but also consider barrings and other components such as shocks that are not designed to have to deal with the extra weight

 

Actually it makes quite the difference. I remember on the 02-05 ram 1500's with the 20" wheel package, brakes were worn out quicker and the trucks were slower due to the larger wheel. I had 20" wheels on my old 1500 and after 26,000 my brakes were squeaking and i was very easy on them. i would downshift to assist in braking. Ram trucks with the 17' wheels, a mere 15lbs lighter per wheel were quicker and had no brake problems.

 

It's not just the weight itself, but where that weight is located. More weight farther away from the wheel center means more rotating mass, and consequently, more braking force required to stop and more torque required to start moving.
